This is a list of Phoenicopteriformes species by global population. While numbers are estimates, they have been made by the experts in their fields. For more information on how these estimates were ascertained, see Wikipedia's articles on population biology and population ecology.

Species by global population

Common name	Binomial name	Population	Status	Trend	Notes	Image
Andean flamingo	Phoenicoparrus andinus	38,000[1]	VU[1]	[1]	Maximum estimate. The population has been steadily decreasing, and current population is unknown.[1]
James's flamingo	Phoenicoparrus jamesi	106,000[2]	NT[2]	[2]	Estimated value from 2010 census. Actual population will likely be lower due to habitat loss.[2]
American flamingo	Phoenicopterus ruber	150,000-205,000[3]	LC[3]	[3]
Chilean flamingo	Phoenicopterus chilensis	300,000[4]	NT[4]	[4]	Population is based on census in 2010 which counted 283,000 individuals.[4]
Greater flamingo	Phoenicopterus roseus	550,000-680, 000[5]	LC[5]	[5]	Divided into three separate populations: The Palearctic, stretching from West Africa to Kazakhstan (205,000-320,000); The South West and South Asian (240,000); and the sub-Saharan African (100,000-120,000).[5]
Lesser flamingo	Phoeniconaias minor	2,220,000-3,240,000[6]	NT[6]	[6]	Estimates based on regions include 15,000-25,000 in West Africa, 1,500,00-2,500,000 in East Africa, 55,000-65,000 in South Africa and Madagascar, and 650,000 in south Asia.[6]
